Abstract
We perform the first simultaneous dispersive analysis of the , , and form factors. By means of an improved parametrization, we take into account the form factors' below-threshold branch cuts arising from on-shell and states, which so far have been ignored in the literature. In this way, we eliminate a source of hard-to-quantify systematic uncertainties. We provide machine-readable files to obtain the full set of the and form factors in and beyond the entire semileptonic phase space.

v4: We have corrected the application of the unitarity bounds, which were ill-defined in the previous versions. Ancillary material at https://zenodo.org/record/13981091
